World Population Growth.

Over the past couple years, we have learned to apply some of the mathematical theories we've learned to real life phenoms. One statistic I find interesting is the world population growth. If you look online for a grph that portrays the world population over a period of time, you should notice one thing, that it looks like an exponential equation. It makes perfect sense. Like the examples we are given about how you start off with one cell, which turns into 2, into 4, into 8 and so on and so on, we can apply that same thinking to humans. 2 humans create more humans, who create more humans, who create more human da, da da ,da da. Is this a bad thing? Possibly. Let's see what David Susuki has to say,

Nuff said.

  1. So true, its seems cool that we can predict future occurences (such as population, oil quantity, etc...) with the help of math rules AND not-so coincidently both these cases are exponential because they are relative and arguably proportional. If this is true, which I believe it is...we're in trouble
